I have recently been doing a presentation about building a start up web business using .net technology.
Here is the PowerPoint presentation and code samples from my .net user group presentation on 9/18/2007. You can find the NuSoft Framework on CodePlex.
Here is the synopsis of my presentation:
Building A .Net Startup
Building a .Net application from scratch can be daunting. There are so many ways to build an application and many of the early decisions affect your future development efforts significantly. Brian Anderson will open up the hood and walkthrough the details of how he architected and developed one of his startup businesses, PayItSquare.com (www.payitsquare.com). He will walk through building UI, business and data layers (with LINQ!), leveraging ASP.NET SQL membership, ASP.NET AJAX 1.0, ASP.NET AJAX Control toolkit, SQL Server 2005 and credit card processing using PayPal’s Website Payment Pro. The goal of this talk is to show how you bring all the details together to get your ideas off the ground successfully using .Net.

I am happy to announce that the NuSoft Framework is now an open source framework. We used this to help build the PayItSquare website. Joel just posted a nice introduction to the NuSoft Framework.
